January 6 – Slow Cooked Pinto Beans for National Bean Day

These are a family favorite around here. They go together pretty easily, but require some planning ahead. Depending on the age of the dried beans they can end up like refried beans or have a firm bite to them. We like to have them in tacos or topped with cotija cheese, green onions, Tapatio sauce, and cilantro or in this Mexican Bi Bim Bap shown above. We were so hungry to eat we didn’t get a picture of the beans on their own but they are in the picture above!

Hi, so glad you are here!

Every day has a celebration! Some days celebrate a certain food, idea, or activity. Sometimes a day is set aside to remember or to increase awareness of a need. Each and every day should be celebrated by spending time with family and friends enjoying whatever time we are given.
